Eliot has only ever been good at two things: riding horses and fighting. He had considered going into showing, but that didn't work out when he couldn't stay out of fights, so he decided to focus on his other skill.

He misses horses, their scent and their noise, the way they felt beneath him. He misses how complete he felt, on the back of a horse, out in the field or the arena, nothing else but how they moved.

But he has fighting now, and it doesn't feel as right as a horse and the ground and nothing else but the sky—but right enough.
